Chapter 528: Contempt Guanzhong and start troops in Huainan
Mi Yang naturally knew how much Cao Zhen hated him now, and that kind of hatred would make Cao Zhen not care about the saying "when two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed without killing him".
In order to protect the lives of his own soldiers as much as possible, Mi Yang came up with a compromise.
That is to prevent Famiao from sending envoys directly to Chang'an.
Instead of going to Chang'an, where should the messenger go?
It's very simple. There are so many county towns around Chang'an.
So on the second day after Mi Yang led his army to arrive at the entrance of the Xiegu, Sun Li secretly rejoiced that he had deceived Mi Yang and sent an envoy to Chang'an to report the good news to Cao Zhen. A dozen messengers from the Han army walked out of the entrance of the Xiegu.
.
Under the instructions of Zhou Tai, more than a dozen Han army messengers on horseback galloped towards the county town near Chang'an according to the map on their body.
Chang'an is surrounded by endless plains, which greatly accelerated the speed of the Han army's messengers.
More importantly, after learning about the arrival of Mi Yang and his army, Cao Zhen decisively adopted the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country.
This resulted in more than a dozen Han army messengers encountering almost no obstacles in the Guanzhong land near Chang'an.
As a result, within one day at the latest and two days at the latest, Baling, Duling, Zheng, Xinfeng and other counties near Chang'an all saw the arrival of Han army messengers outside the city.
To put it in vernacular, that is: Don't hide in the boudoir like a woman, come out if you have the ability, if you don't come out, the whole world will look down on you.
It seems that at this time, not only the counties in Jingzhao know the contents of this letter, but I am afraid that the entire Guanzhong will also know about it soon.
But under Cao Zhen's questioning, the messengers from various counties became hesitant.
So after hearing that magistrates from many counties had sent messengers, Cao Zhen, who had a bad feeling in his heart, immediately met the messengers.
Seeing the horrible appearance of these messengers, Cao Zhen became even more angry.
There are even messengers heading towards Luoyang.
Sun Quan was waiting for news that he appeared in Guanzhong.
Mi Yang had been standing still for the past few days, and he was worried that Mi Yang was preparing some bad move, but he never expected that Mi Yang would go so far and make such a heart-breaking move.
Mi Yang knew what Sun Quan was thinking.
Cao Zhen slammed the table and said in a majestic tone: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, I have my own thoughts."
After learning that Cao Zhen was recruiting reinforcements from various places, Mi Yang had already completed the mission of his army.
There is no other reason. Guanzhong is the lifeblood of Cao Wei, and the stability of military morale is the key to guarding Guanzhong.
It is no problem to guard Chang'an with 7,000 elite troops until reinforcements arrive, but Mi Yang brought an army of 100,000 to this northern expedition.
They even roasted Cao Zhen directly on the fire.
After seeing the messengers from various counties, Cao Zhen quickly asked anxiously: "What happened? But the thieves divided their forces to attack you?"
By then the situation will only become more unfavorable to Cao Wei.
Seeing such a uniform movement among each other, not only the messengers were surprised by each other, but even Cao Zhen seemed a little confused.
Soon after, all the Wei generals in the hall knelt down and admonished Cao Zhen to put state affairs first and suppress their anger.
But Cao Zhen certainly wouldn't have expected that Mi Yang felt even more guilty than him.
When the Han army's messenger left from their own city, the county magistrates quickly realized another thing - should this matter be reported to Cao Zhen?
The hesitation in the minds of the county magistrates is because the communication between the counties is not smooth under the strong walls and clear fields.
Chun Chun was angry.
Sun Quan had made it clear before that he would send troops to attack Hefei.
After letting out this shrill cry, Cao Zhen's eyes turned black and he fell directly into the arms of the generals.
They understood why Cao Zhen was suddenly so angry.
This is precisely what Cao Zhen is most worried about.
Wasn't Mi Yang's first battle in life that angered Sun Huan with a letter, which put Sun Huan on the road of no return?
Although everyone could see that Mi Yang was trying to provoke the general, Mi Yang was certain that Cao Zhen would fall into the trap.
What does this sentence mean?
Between the two, the latter is more serious.
But after Liu Ye, who was standing by, brought over a dozen letters and notes to Cao Zhen to look at, Cao Zhen soon stopped being surprised.
With his reputation and his extremely arrogant tone, it would be strange for Cao Zhen not to mobilize all the elites in Guanzhong to fight against him.
Then Mi Yang stood up and came to the high platform in the camp, looking towards the east.
To send 7,000 elite soldiers out of the city to fight against Mi Yang, who commanded an army of 100,000 men, wouldn't this be a waste of death?
Some Wei generals subconsciously stepped forward and hugged Cao Zhen's thighs, making it impossible for Cao Zhen to move forward. Then some of them even cried anxiously:
Mi Yang humiliated not only him, but also the entire Wei Dynasty.
His entire face turned red. He held the sword in his hand and stepped out of the hall to lead his troops out of the city to fight Mi Yang.
"After today, it will make people laugh forever!"
But even though he was being taken advantage of by the enemy, he could not make any favorable counterattack. This made Cao Zhen, who regarded Cao Wei's country as his life, unbearable.
It's impossible to dig the Weishui River channel!
The most important thing is that when Mi Yang said these words, they didn't even have the slightest idea that something was wrong.
Cao Zhen asked what he was most worried about.
According to time calculation, Cao Zhen should have received the gift he prepared. With Cao Zhen's character, he should not remain indifferent.
Because he is weak now.
But even with this doubt, the county magistrates did not send messengers to Chang'an immediately.
However, the Han army has been showing no signs of movement recently, which originally made Cao Zhen very worried.
Unless Chang'an's military strength must be very empty now.
After reading the contents of the letter, they all looked at Cao Zhen with sympathetic eyes.
For a passionate man, if he encounters such a thing and cannot take revenge, can he not cry?
This is because the content of the letter was so powerful that they found it difficult to accept it, let alone Cao Zhen, the person involved?
If Cao Zhen already knows the content of this letter, and they happen to send a messenger to Chang'an again to expose this scar in front of Cao Zhen, then in his anger, Cao Zhen cannot punish them?
Hesitations were brewing in the minds of the county magistrates one by one, but after thinking about it, they still unanimously sent messengers to Chang'an.
If these words only shocked the hearts of all the county magistrates, then the words "Don't wait for a boudoir, it will make the world laugh" made Mi Yang slap Cao Zhen hard in the face in front of the entire Guanzhong.
The sympathetic looks of many Wei generals were caught by Cao Zhen.
Mi Yang compared him to a woman in the letter, which was humiliating him.
They didn't even know whether the Han army messenger went to Chang'an and read the contents of this letter to Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen was furious and kicked the table in front of him. He stood up and drew out the long sword from his waist, swung the sword in the direction of the Xiegu mouth and shouted angrily:
"Thief, you are going too far.
None of them knew whether the Han army's messengers went to other cities or whether they only came to their own city.
Cao Zhen, whose face was full of tears, could only look up to the sky and sigh:
But after Cao Zhen read the contents of the third letter, any sense and qualities of a famous general disappeared at this moment.
The enemy is strong and we are weak, and no matter how morale our own troops are, how can we still fight this battle?
Although Sima Yi was very tolerant in history, Cao Zhen was not Sima Yi after all.
From now on, he just needs to wait and see what happens.
However, this is precisely the third effect Mi Yang wanted to achieve by writing that letter.
Under its powerful power, it can make hundreds of thousands of people in Beijing tremble with fear.
After seeing the content of the first letter, Cao Zhen was already furious.
But out of the basic qualities of a famous general, Cao Zhen mechanically picked up the third letter on the case and read it.
I think it was Cao Zhen who sent them to various places to recruit reinforcements.
However, although Cao Zhen did not immediately lead his army out of Chang'an to fight to the death with him, the scouts sent by Mi Yang still obtained a lot of useful information.
Cao Zhen's sudden and furious behavior frightened all the messengers, and even made all the Wei generals in the hall stand up in fright.
If you have anything to do, tell me, who can I show to you by acting like this?
Facing the generals' attempts to dissuade him, Cao Zhen tried to break free, but was unable to do so.
Sun Quan, Lu Xun, it’s time for you to move!
After the Wei generals saw Cao Zhen's behavior, many of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Taken together, the two sentences before and after perfectly reveal Mi Yang's current state of mind: he is very arrogant.
This is the second effect Mi Yang wants.
What's even more outrageous is that Mi Yang is so disgusting that he sends so many messengers to various counties in Jingzhao.
Mi Yang immediately made this judgment in his mind.
Compared to the Wei army's fear of Mi Yang, as Mi Yang's subordinates, their hearts were filled with pride at this moment.
After reading the contents of the second letter, the last trace of reason in Cao Zhen's mind had disappeared.
Don't forget, Mi Yang, who comes from a later generation who has a bottom line but a low bottom line, can be regarded as the most provocative person in the world.
From the beginning to the end, no county magistrate dared to send troops out of the city to intercept and kill the Han army messengers.
It can be seen from this that Cao Zhen did not want to fight him, but just wanted to wait for the reinforcements to arrive before defeating him in one go.
Mi Yang, who had been waiting in the camp for several days, did not wait until the scouts came to report the signs of Chang'an sending troops.
I will sleep on your skin and drink your blood!"
Even though Cao Zhen was beaten so hard by Mi Yang that he almost couldn't come back, Cao Zhen still had prestige in the Wei Dynasty.
At that moment, if he had not taken any action, how would everyone in Guanzhong view him?
Would you rather praise him for bearing humiliation or bearing heavy burdens, or scold him for being as timid as a tiger?
You must know that he is the general of Cao Wei, and he bears the honor of Cao Wei.
But he still maintained a trace of reason and allowed himself to open the second letter and read it.
But Mi Yang had always been cunning, and perhaps he had seen through the suspected soldier's plan long ago. Instead, he followed the plan and divided his troops to attack the counties in Guanzhong.
And if this news spreads to other counties in Guanzhong, not only hundreds of thousands of people will be afraid of Mi Yang's reputation?
The first effect that Mi Yang wanted has been achieved invisibly and perfectly.
In the end, he had no choice but to kneel down on the ground, his eyes filled with tears.
They know best how many troops there are in Chang'an now.
As long as most of the troops in Guanzhong arrive outside Chang'an City, it will be the best time for Liu Bei to send troops to the Northern Expedition.
Seeing the messy appearance of the county magistrates in the cold wind, even if they were outside different counties, more than a dozen Han army messengers still burst into laughter and left.
At this time, many Wei generals were also sitting in the meeting hall.
With Cao Zhen's "support", all the messengers finally took out a letter from their arms.
The county magistrates were actually worried wrongly. They did not know that Mi Yang had not sent a messenger to Chang'an.
In the past few days, Chang'an City has been sending messengers to various places in Guanzhong.
If they really do not respond to Mi Yang's provocation, then Guanzhong's already unstable military morale will become even more decadent.
Once this news reaches him, he will definitely send troops to the Northern Expedition without hesitation.
Although it can be seen from the news reported by Sun Li that Mi Yang was successfully deceived by his suspicious tactics and has been holding back his troops for the past few days.
"General, national affairs are the most important, and Chang'an is the most important!"
The envoys sent by various counties departed earlier or later. Perhaps due to different departure times, the envoys from various counties arrived in Chang'an almost on the same day.
The most important thing is that although Mi Yang's words first fell into the ears of the county magistrates, all the county magistrates knew that Mi Yang's words were actually addressed to Cao Zhen.
Sending a messenger might anger Cao Zhen, but if he didn't send a messenger to report the matter, he might be involved in liaison with foreign enemies.
One letter can easily shake the morale of the military and the people in Guanzhong. This is the best embodiment of General Mi's current prestige in Guanzhong.
They just stayed there, letting the Han army messenger laugh wildly and leave.
This sentence alone reflects Mi Yang's terrifying arrogance.
What did he do again?
Just when the county magistrates thought that the Han army's messenger was coming to persuade them to surrender, and wanted to stand upright and sternly refuse on the city wall, the contents of the letter read out by the Han army's messenger almost made the county magistrates kneel on the city wall.
superior!
"Draw your sword and look around. Everyone is small and invincible."
But until today, Jiangdong's army has not yet entered the Huainan territory.
In the meeting hall of the General's Mansion, a total of a dozen messengers from various counties stood neatly below Cao Zhen.
Due to the fear in their hearts, some Wei generals quickly picked up the letters scattered on the ground and read them.
No man could bear the content of the letter.
But Mi Yang expected that after hearing the contents of the letter, the county magistrates would unconsciously become his mouthpiece.
But he happens to have such arrogant capital.
So when these two sentences fell into the ears of the county magistrates, they were not only shocked, but also naturally fearful.
Mi Yang was right. Not long after, when Jiangdong's spies in Guanzhong reported the news of Mi Yang's troops in Guanzhong back to Jianye, Sun Quan immediately summoned all the ministers in Jianye City.
Now that Mi Yang has set his sights on Guanzhong, it will be time for him to launch his army in Huainan.
The two parties worked together to pull Cao Wei, who had been arrogant and contemptuous of the world, from the strongest position in the world!
